Holy Terror

Sam: Agent.

Castiel: Agent.

Dean: Cas, what the hell are you doing?  


Castiel: If angels are slaughtering one another, I have to do what I can to help. It is a risk we should be willing to take, don't you think? Hey. Cas is back in town.

Dean: Seriously did you just... did he just say that?  


Dean: You know, Cas, are you sure you're ready to jump back into all this? I mean, it seemed to me like you'd actually found some peace.

Castiel: Hey, you once told me that you don't choose what you do. It chooses you.

Dean: Huh?  


Sam: All right, well, then, in that case, we have to figure out, uh, who are we up against, what do they want, and how do we stop them.

Castiel: Well, Bartholomew wants to reverse Metatron's spell. Presumably to- to retake Heaven once his following is large enough. That's according to April.

Dean: The reaper you banged.

Castiel: Yeah, and you stabbed.

Dean: Yeah. She was hot.

Castiel: So hot. And very nice.

Dean: Mm.

Castiel: Up to the point she started torturing me

Dean: Yeah. Well, not every hookup's perfect.  


Dean: All right, you know what, Zeke? Level with me. What is it that you're so afraid of?

Ezekiel: I told you. When I chose to answer your prayers and heal Sam, I chose sides. That means I'm not in good standing with certain angels.

Dean: Okay, well, you know what? Cas isn't in good standing with any angel, all right? But here he is, ass on the line, fighting the fight. So tell me, what makes you so special?  


Metatron: I was the one who caused all the angels to fall. Including the imprisoned ones. You're welcome.

Gadreel: No angels are in Heaven? None at all?

Metatron: No, and you know, at first, I thought I would love it. But it's a big place. My solitude is getting tedious.

Gadreel: And so?

Metatron: And so... Plan "B." Rebuild Heaven as the place God envisioned it, only with a handpicked few. No more anemic functionaries like Bartholomew. And no more stupid angels. Maybe some funny ones. You were His most trusted, Gadreel. You want to take back your reputation? You want to reclaim the Heaven that was? We could do this together.  


Sam: They were a born-again biker gang.

Dean: Well that is not something you hear everyday!

Sam: No it is not.  


Metatron: Frankly, I never got used to them. I lived among them for centuries. I had to isolate myself to keep sane.

Gadreel: Humans do seem chaotic, Metatron.

Metatron: Which makes them fascinating, but... All that emotion. Geez. And the wasted energy. It's just... exhausting.  


Castiel: Okay. I'm... unfamiliar with this end of the process. Of course, no one may be listening, um, but I – I do need assistance. I have questions, and there seem to be no answers. I'm lost. I need your guidance... I don't know how humans do it.  


Castiel: Angels butchering angels. Is this what we've become?

Malachi: Just following your example, Castiel. How many did you kill in Heaven? How many in the fall? Oh, you didn't know? A host of angels died when they fell –- Azrael, Sophia, Ezekiel... "Died" doesn't even describe it. Devastation. Wings shredded, unspeakable agony at your hands. So, I think you would want to provide any information you have, considering... All right. I leave you in the hands of an artist. I don't care what's left.  


Castiel: You – you serve Malachi.

Theo: I thought he was the answer, but he's crazy.

Castiel: You're... noticing this now? You were more than willing to do his dirty work.

Theo: I did what I had to.

Castiel: When you were sure he would defeat Bartholomew.

Theo: But no one will survive this war.  


Dean: Just trust me, okay?

Kevin: I always trust you, and I always end up screwed.  


Castiel: Dean, I don't have a lot of time, so listen. The leader of the opposition is an angel named Malachi.

Dean: How do you know that?

Castiel: He had me. I, uh, I was tortured. But I got away.

Dean: How?

Castiel: I... I did what I had to. I became what they've become. A barbarian.  


Dean: You were in the hospital, okay, and they said you were gonna die.

Sam: What did you do?

Dean: I let an angel in.

Sam: In what?

Dean: In you. He said he could heal you and he is.

Sam: He's still in me? Wait. That's impossible, Dean. That couldn't happen. I never invited him in.

Dean: I tricked you into saying yes. It seemed like the only way.

Sam: So... Again. You thought I couldn't handle something, so you took over!

Dean: No, I did what I had to do! You would've never agreed to it, and you would've died.

Sam: Well, maybe I would've liked the choice, at least.  


Gadreel: Sorry about Kevin, but ultimately... it's for the best. I did what I had to.
